The idea about the golf tournament in two countries came up in my discussions with past, current and coming governor i.e. Aune Past, Jere Jantunen and Heldur Allese. The objective is to get more visibility for Rotary, to get new target group interested and to further enhance the collaboration between Estonian and Finnish rotarians of D1420. We came into the conclusion that one club in each country to organize the event will be the best way.
Vihti Nummela Rotary Club organized the first event on June 6th, 2025. Four clubs participated to this round. The atmosphere was very good and it only further strengthened the decision to continue and make this an annual tradition. One round of golf in Finland and one round in Estonia.
Next event will take place in May 2026 at HILL SIDE GOLF in Vihti and the Estonian event will be in Saarenmaa on the 20th of August. You will receive more precise invitation on both events later.
The profit of both events will support the exchange student program, and if possible also the Rotary Foundation.
